Do I have to get it in writing?

Yes. The dealer must give you a written contract when you buy the car. This contract is usually called a purchase agreement. The contract must include:

  • your name and address
  • the dealer’s registered name, registration number, and the business address
  • the salesperson’s registered name and registration number
  • the date of the sale and the date the car is delivered
  • the VIN number (Vehicle Identification Number)
  • information about the total price, including all charges and taxes, and
  • any deposit or down payment you made, and the balance due.
